12x14 furnished bedroom in residential home, off Harvard St, near B & C lines, 15 mins to HvdMed, BU
Hi! We are Elizabeth and Jeffrey Beard. We are both recently retired, Jeff as a global M&A specialist with IBM and Elizabeth as local school district contractor.
Our home is a restored 115 year old Arts & Crafts colonial. We live on the... 2nd and 3rd floor. The neighborhood is a very quiet residential area with access to a park down the street which has a tennis/pickleball court, large field and lots of shady areas. The house is a short walk to grocery stores (Trader Joes, Wholefoods, Maruichi) cafés, bakeries, restaurants and gyms. We are also a short walk to The Coolidge theatre and Brookline Village.
About your room and access to the house:
⁃ The rental bedroom is on the 2nd floor (main floor) in the quiet back half of the house. ⁃ The bedroom is 12’x14’ and furnished with a full size double bed, armoire, book shelves, area rug, small desk and chair, 50" HDTV. ⁃ Access to large outdoor furnished deck overlooking the back yard included. ⁃ Full bathroom across the hall. ⁃ The house has central AC and heating included. ⁃ TV streaming services (Netflix, Prime, Hulu, Max, Disney) and cable TV are included. ⁃ High speed internet is included. ⁃ Linens included bed sheets, quilts and towels are included. ⁃ In-house washer and dryer included and very accessible. ⁃ We provide full kitchen access including gas range and oven for cooking, and storage, i.e., partial kitchen cabinets, pantry, space in fridge/freezer. ⁃ Professional cleaner comes ~2x a month and is included in rent. ⁃ We have a cat and a dog, so cannot allow renters with pets. Cat stays on 3rd floor and hides most of the time. Dog is a big friendly baby (according to our previous renters, but we agree)
Transit options from the house: ⁃ House is a three minute walk to No 66 Bus to Harvard Square/ Longwood medical area, a five minute walk from Green B line, and a 10-minute walk from Green C line. ⁃ We are a 15-minute bike ride from the Longwood Medical area, 15-minute trolleys into downtown Boston and 20 minutes taxi to Logan airport. ⁃ Interstate bus stop is a ten-minute walk from the house near Coolidge Corner.
